Ramen

[Hihosilver123]

A new Ramen restaurant has opened by me. There’s a huge queue at the weekends so it’s obviously very popular. I want to go and try it out but have never had Ramen before. Any recommendations about what to choose/eat?

I like spicy beef and an egg personally. Lots of veg!

It's basically a soup, and you can choose what you fancy the sound of.

Can you have a look at the menu before you go?

It's noodle soup.

It won't be that good.

Mmm ramen is one of my fave things. Spicy with tofu and lots of veggies for me.

Clearly it is that good.

It won't be. It's soup!

Loads of places have queues outside, doesn't mean they're good.

The local wagamama always seems to have queues, and their food is just so-so

Why are there queues?

Do they not take table bookings OP?

I can't help with suggesting what to order but I would recommend letting the fuss die down for a few weeks, if they don't allow table bookings.

I recently discovered Ramen and when I go to a restaurant I like to eat something I can't make at home. I've tried and failed to reproduce the flavours so it's a treat for me.
It's true it's noodle soup, but that doesn't do it justice. It's packed with flavour and you can add all sorts of meat or fish. It's very filling.

I don't like soup but I love ramen. Especially the egg!

Start with something basic: tonkotsu pork or chicken ramen. I suggest not spicy as you’ve never been before and you don’t k ow what their base level of spice is. You can always add your own chili oil. It’s filling, mind, go hungry!!

I love any kind of Ramen but Pho is my absolute favourite noodle soup. I usually go for something spicy with either.
Luckily DS is also a Ramen fan we have it at home a few times a month. Broth is easily batch cooked and frozen and the rest is very quick.
